-  The Python programming language was created by a dutch named Guido van Rossum.
-  The idea of Python was conceived in December 1989. The name Python has nothing
-  to do with the reptilian, but its been named after the 70s comedy series 
-  "Monty Python's Flying Circus", since it happens to be Guido's favourite

+The Python docs define Python as "Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, 
+high-level programming language with dynamic semantics." A more detailed summary
+can be found at http://www.python.org/doc/essays/blurb.html. Python is a language that
+has been designed to help the programmer concentrate on solving the problem at hand
+and not worry about the programming language idiosyncrasies.
+
+Python is a highly cross platform compatible language on account of it being an 
+interpreted language. It is highly scalable and hence has been adapted to run on 
+the Nokia 60 series phones. Python has been designed to be readable and easy to use
